Reviews / Votes
'This excellent book's 22 chapters, written by top empirical social scientists, document the disproportionate impact COVID-19 and the social disruption necessary to contain it had on health, labor market, and educational outcomes of already socio-economically disadvantaged groups in the USA and elsewhere, and what remains to be done to offset them.' -- Richard Burkhauser, Cornell University and University of Texas at Austin, USA 'The editors, internationally recognised experts on legal education, have gathered specialist scholars whose fascinating contributions trace the origins, purpose, structure, methods, specialisms, idiosyncrasies and outcomes of legal education in their own jurisdiction. This volume is full of thought and information written by those who know the subject. It is the go-to encyclopedia, and is a valuable source for students, academics, professional bodies, policy makers and politicians.' -- Phil Thomas, Cardiff University, UKMore details
